[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1844018, member: 42463"] You can find plenty of articles from good agricultural study sources that support the fact that twins occur for many reasons... including genetically transmitted traits. And I have experience too. I had a cow that twinned five times out of six pregnancies and her heifers that survived had twins as well. I'm not saying that the cause is ALWAYS genetic... but if there IS a genetic reason and it gets passed on by saving heifers with that genetic trait, it stands to reason that the incidences of twinning will increase in a population.
